The body of this guitar is made from polished Stainless Steel to the exact specs of the famous Fender American Stratocaster©, the inside of which has been muted with foam to eliminate feedback and harsh overtones.
Foam inserts were also used to mute the tremolo springs.
Schaller Straplock system is installed.
Neck: Compound radius genuine Fender replacement branded on the inside of the heel with the Fender logo and "Fender Stratocaster" decal on the front of the headstock. The fingerboard surface radius gradually changes from 9.5" at the nut, to 12" at the 22nd fret (241mm to 305mm), for lower action and cleaner string bending. It is hard rock maple finished in clear satin polyurethane, with a walnut "skunk stripe" down the back. The 22 frets are nicely finished, nut has been upgraded to Graphite. Rosewood fretboard with MOP dot inlays and side markers.
Scale length 25-1/2" (647.70mm)
Width at nut 1-11/16" (42.86mm)
Width at 22nd fret 2-3/16" (55.56mm)
Fretwire .045" high x .095" wide (1.14mm x 2.41mm)
Approximate heel length 3-5/8" (92.07mm)
Fretboard radius 9-1/2" (241.30mm)
Tremolo: Wilkinson/Gotoh VS-100N
A unique high quality tremolo which does dive bombs or pulls, featuring 4 way fully adjustable string length & height saddles that lock to a hardened steel baseplate, for better tuning stability, string energy transfer and note sustain. Allen wrenches and adjustable-tension arm are included.
Headstock: Fitted with "Roller String Retainers" which eliminate tuning problems and reduce string breakage.
Tuners: Sperzel 6-In-Line Graduated Tuners are precision-machined, have sealed-in lubrication, and are awesomely easy to use.
Electronics: 5 way blade switch, master volume & 2 independent tones. Switchcraft 500k ohm pots were used with .022 microfarad Mylar tone caps
Pickups are top of the line Lace Sensor Hot Gold's, which have a slightly stronger output featuring hotter Barrium Ferrite magnets. They retain all the definition of the regular Gold Lace Sensors but add a firm bottom and singing mid range. Excellent from clean to vintage growl. These Lace Sensor Hot Gold's have a fat, full bottom end, a singing midrange and all the high end sparkle and class you would expect from a killer Strat©. Three-notes into these guitar pickups and you'll hear the difference. True Strat fans will love it!
This is just one example of the awesome work done by our custom shop
